Rituals of Remembrance is about {re)locating ourselves in the eternal spacetime of liberation. The House of the Lorde has proclaimed that bringing our full selves liberates everyone in the room– now I wonder who else we bring into the room when we bring our fullest selves. What ancestors do we also liberate? By tugging at the intricate threads of legacy that tie and mend us, we are able to shape our present and future through ritual. Through this workshop, Regeneration Archive invites community to participate in attaya– a traditional West African tea ceremony, an ancestral show & tell, and archival digitization*— with the intention of honoring memory as a sacred daily ritual.
*Participants are highly encouraged to bring photographic archives for scanning and ancestral artifacts they'd like to process and/ or share.
